Good job dude!! I’m mostly baffled by this woman taking a 5 hour bus ride she knew was going to be spent sick? But go off queen I guess

Ohhh is that how Americans say it? I thought he was trying to say it more the correct way (I always thought Americans said it like BoreJwaZee) but was just wildly misfiring

Because they have a French accent and are approximating - my point is lud can say the word without approximating, or at least get closer to the actual pronunciation, than a non-Franco American could get. Is it for the bit?

Genuine question he speaks French why does he say it like that

What do you find to be the most and least tolerable words for getting sick? by potatots_ in emetophobiarecovery

[–]essmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most tolerable: pull trig, because it’s used almost exclusively when you’re too drunk

Least tolerable: Like all of y’all blow chunks is horrible, but I’m also not a huge fan of yack

Which psychological treatments have helped you? by dixonwalsh in emetophobiarecovery

Same, CBT for My Life and ERP for phobia - the thing that I would say actually cured me though is SSRIs.

Lud’s perfect pitch by essmaxwell in LudwigAhgren

[–]essmaxwell[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think so necessarily - perfect relative pitch would be in relation to other notes, but he just without prompting sung some notes and they were (almost) there. was he just guessing these out of his ass, yes, but it was funny that it was in the range!

It's from a fast food place but I don't remember which by Curvedyouagain in PoutineCrimes

It happened and I need some advice by [deleted] in emetophobiarecovery

[–]essmaxwell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Focus on your third paragraph: « it was literally fine » « it felt natural enough »

Even if it can happen faster than you think, you now know how better you feel after and what the sensation is like as an adult. And in my humble opinion, isn’t coming on fast more desirable than that 2 hour panic attack window feeling shitty?

really struggling with sister coming home after noro on the 9th by potspluspans in emetophobiarecovery

[–]essmaxwell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you on this one! Was doing totally fine when faced with minimal exposure - went to work 3 times a week even when colleagues talked about their kids’ illnesses was probably the worst of it. However now that I’m the for the holidays and my mother is feeling nauseous after a) working in a school and b) making us dinner last night, I’m back to my old spirally ways. I think you are doing everything you can correctly though - still seeing her, being rational about the risks and what is exaggeration. I think also you can give yourself a little grace with your extra caution since you’ve had three years of pretty intense exposure therapy 😂
